"Embrace the Chaos" Berry Crumble

65 minServes 6

If you're looking for the picture-perfect, wins-the-county-fair-beauty-contest pie, keep looking — this is not it. But if you're looking for amazing flavor from super-healthy ingredients … that is also kind of hippy-dippy perfect in a wabi-sabi way, you're going to love this! Use whatever berries or fruit you have on hand — blueberries, blackberries, strawberries, cherries, boysenberries — and frozen is a great stand-in when fresh aren't available.

Ingredients

  • FILLING:
  • 5 cups fresh or frozen berries — whatever is in season or you have on hand
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 2 tbsp arrowroot powder
  • Pinch of salt
  • CRUST:
  • 1/2 cup coconut milk
  • 1 tsp vanilla
  • 1 tsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 1/2 cups oat flour
  • 1 tbsp baking powder
  • 1/4 cup coconut sugar
  • Pinch of salt
  • 3 tbsp applesauce
  • 2 tbsp nut butter
  • TOPPING:
  • Cinnamon and turmeric (I like a freeform tie-dye look)

Instructions

  1. 1Preheat oven to 425°F. Use a pan roughly 8x8; line with parchment paper unless nonstick.
  2. 2Combine all filling ingredients and pour into the pan. Cover and bake for 30 minutes.
  3. 3Stir together the coconut milk and apple cider vinegar. After a few minutes (to curdle), add the vanilla.
  4. 4Combine the dry crust ingredients (flour, baking powder, sugar, salt) in a large bowl.
  5. 5In a small container, mix the applesauce and nut butter well. Add to the dry ingredients until crumbly, then gently stir in the coconut milk until just combined.
  6. 6Once the filling is done, remove from oven and reduce heat to 350°F. Spread the crust over the berry mixture and top with dashes of cinnamon and turmeric.
  7. 7Bake 25 more minutes. Remove to cool and serve warm.

Jennifer's tip

Some call this a berry cobbler, others a berry crumble, or a berry pie — whatever you call it, call me to the table when you make it!
